The late-afternoon light gilds ribbed dunes as Land Cruisers slip from pavement into sand, tires hissing and engines easing into a different rhythm. You feel the dune rise before the vehicle crests it — a brief, thrilling surrender — then the descent that lights up laughter and camera shutters. This is the everyday spectacle of Dubai’s commercial desert safaris: a compact encounter with an ancient landscape that can feel both raw and choreographed.

Hydrate before and during the tour
